23 West 82nd Street, Manhattan, NY 10024

The 30-unit, 4-story building at 23 West 82nd Street in the Upper West Side, owned by Lisa Szer, has a notable history since its construction in 1887. The property experienced two significant maintenance issues in recent years: a heat/hot water emergency in January 2022 which was resolved within a week, and a bathtub/shower plumbing issue in August 2021 that required several months to address, though no violations were ultimately issued. Currently, there is an open Class C violation from November 2022 regarding a defective self-closing building entrance door on the first story, which remains uncorrected as of the latest inspection.

The building has maintained consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements between 2020 and 2024, showing zero infestation cases during these periods. Additionally, the property has regularly passed rodent inspections, with the most recent results confirming continued compliance in 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices in place. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of responsive but sometimes prolonged resolution times for various issues, particularly regarding heating systems and plumbing.

The property underwent two bedbug-related violations in 2021 and 2022, though these appear to be administrative in nature related to paperwork rather than actual infestations. While the open door violation represents the most pressing outstanding maintenance issue, the building's overall inspection history suggests that most problems are addressed once identified, even if there are delays in some cases. The consistent passing of rodent inspections over multiple years indicates effective building maintenance practices, and the absence of any recent water-related issues through 2023 suggests some stabilization in this area after previous plumbing concerns.
